Playing USA in 1942 and at war with Germany and the Allies, I notice a display discrepancy regarding my trades to Portugal and N. Spain (both neutral). Both convoys were hit by enemy subs some time ago; and the convoys re-routed to avoid the many "red sea zones" (earlier kill sites).

The problem is that the Trades Window shows both trades green and at 100% but in the Convoys Window it has both routes listed as "not active". And sure enough, the routes are shown as grey arrows (which means inactive) instead of brown arrow for representing active.

But the discrepancies are:
a) Convoys is still running full number of merchant men required to do the trade - meaning any lost merchant men were automatically replaced to make up what is required to transport the total trade volume.
b) Trades Window has the trade efficiency at 100% (even though other enemy subs are currently in the general area) and still shows the trade as being in green.

What's going on? Thanks!

I've seen the same thing and would be interested in finding out why it happens too. The naval mechanics of AoD are probably the hardest to understand, mainly due to their hardcoded nature & lack of detailed information.

To fix it I cancelled trade and set trade up again. But it cost me cancellation fee and it was a smaller trade because circumstances with trading partner changed. But at least I know the trade is actually working now. With the discrepancy it is hard to figure out if its working or not.
